"I have turned my VPN on. How can I remote desktop into another machine?"

My question is the opposite.

"I have a remote Windows machine which needs to run on a VPN.

-When the VPN is off, I can Remote Desktop into the Windows VM using it's IP address.-When the VPN is on, I can no longer Remote Desktop into the Windows VM using it's IP address. This is because it's on a VPN, and therefore the IP address has changed. -When the VPN is on, I am unable to Remote Desktop into the Windows VM using the VPN IP address. -When the VPN is on, If I also go on the same VPN, I am then able to RDP into the Windows VM using it's original IP address (not the VPN one)."

So here is the setup:

- Remote Windows Machine on VPN with VPN IP address.- I am on my local machine (no VPN)- How can I Remote Desktop onto the Windows Machine without my local machine going onto the same VPN?

What kind of VPN are you using?If you want to access a machine from outside the VPN, you'd at least need a gateway inside the VPN that tunnels to the public internet and allows you to open ports (3389 for RDP) and redirect them to the machine within the VPN.
